    I doubt you'll find an off the shelf item in Australia except APR. One off is the way to go.

    for reference purposes, i have been looking at getting a custom 3" pipe made...

    prices have averaged around the $300 mark... give or take a few dollars...

    I had an offer for an new ARP downpipe that needed a new cat, had a rattle. Going cheap. May still be available, PM me for details.

    Personally I'd go a 2.5inch downpipe with highflow cat and leave the rear stock, unless you like drone in the cabin. This setup gained 10kw at the wheels at last dyno.

    2.5 inch turbo back into the stock muffler. with highflow cat and no central muffler. I have this setup in my car without a cat and it's still extremely quiet.
